Edgar Wallace

Detective Stories Edgar Wallace

Fourteen stories culled from the classic age of pulp crime magazine fiction, pitting two-fisted detectives against master criminals, petty villains and every kind of no-good crook under the sun. Hard-drinking, hard-living and hard-hitting, the detective heroes of these pulp stories live on the edge, taking on cases only the toughest of tough guys would dare to face. These evocative stories take you back to a different time... a time when cases were solved with a slug in the mouth and celebrated with a slug of whiskey... ...a time of Dames, Detectives and Double Crosses. Originally published in a number of different pulp magazines from the 1920s and 1940s, these stories include tales by a number of best known and most popular pulp authors. Included in the collection is the prolific Edgar Wallace, who enjoyed a successful career writing countless short stories, screenplays for movies and most famously, several best selling crime novels.
